VenueMcNichols Main Stage: The Nature of Things
StatementMy work is influenced and shaped by modernism as well as by the artistic, social and political movements of the late 60's and 70's. As a Chilean artist based in New York City my view on these issues is affected by my geographic displacement, from my point of view there is no real center or periphery, no original or influence, only transitory dominant discourses. In the space between these historical moments are gray areas of utopias, dreams and failures; I set myself the task of finding new readings, connections and bridges within these histories, more precisely between the representations of these histories. Broadly my work is an intertwined construction built from parallel lines of investigation, installation, drawing, printmaking and appropriation.
